Average time to visit

Tokyo kicks off its year with cold winter days and the odd snowfall. Although temperatures occasionally drop below freezing, winter (December to February) is usually reasonable. Spring (March to May) brings pleasant, warm days, and, of course, cherry blossoms – early April is probably the best time to view the blooms. Summer (June to August) is hot and muggy. Late June can see torrential rains. The temperature and humidity are at their worst in August. Apart from spring, autumn (September to November) is the most pleasant season as temperatures cool down to a cosy level and days are often clear and fine. Fall also means the return of the dramatic foliage season, when the parks and green areas of the city mellow into varying hues of orange and red.

Insider's View

Take advantage of the beautiful spa at Aman Tokyo – a real treat after a day's sightseeing!

Take an early evening swim in the stunning pool. With any luck you will have it to yourself to enjoy the spectacular city skyline.

For families, opt for the corner suite, with views of the river. This is perfect for families as you can have it outer-conneting to a luxury room. You could even fit a family of 5 in these two rooms if need be!

After a long flight or day exploring Tokyo treat yourself to a Traditional Seasonal Herb Bath. In your private tub, 38 floors above Japan's capital, the Aman provides all the herbs, salts, and necessities so you can experience the relaxing ritual practiced since the Heian Age.

To start planning your vacation to Aman Tokyo

Description

The 84-room Aman Tokyo is located just a hop, skip and a jump from Tokyo Station and occupies the top six floors of the Oternachi Tower. With traditional chic Aman style, you will find an urban sanctuary in the heart of buzzing Tokyo.

The Aman Tokyo is in a great location, around the corner from the Imperial Palace Gardens right next to Tokyo Station (which is perfect if you are jumping onto the bullet train to Kyoto following your stay) and a collection of superb restaurants and shopping opportunities. The views from the Aman Tokyo are fabulous.

The Aman Tokyo boasts the largest lead-in rooms in Tokyo, starting with their Deluxe Rooms at an impressive 71 square meters. The design is quintessentially Aman - those clear, sleek lines and minimalist understated chic, which all Aman fans have come to love so much. Each Aman hotel incorporates design elements from the destination it is located, so expect subtle nods to traditional Japanese structures, the use of camphor wood, washi paper and exposed stonework. We love the large traditional deeply set Japanese soaking tub which you will find in each room.

Located on the 33rd floor, the Restaurant by Aman serves Mediterranean cuisine, with a selection of Asian and Japanese dishes. There is also a cafe and wine cellar. The Aman spa covers almost 2,500 square meters and contains eight treatment rooms, a 30-meter swimming pool and a fitness center.

Aman Hotels always have the knack of re-writing the book when they open their hotels - and the Aman Tokyo is very much a sanctuary from Tokyo's vivacious spirit - it provides elegant, understated luxury at its very best.

Aman Tokyo is a zen city hotel. You are never far from the fabulous city views, with floor to ceiling windows everywhere you look. If you are lucky, you will even catch a glimpse a Mount Fuji in the distance. The rooms are simple and contemporary, with a Japanese touch. As always, Aman have thought of every detail and the service was very slick.

Make sure you head up to the swimming pool during your stay - it is stunning. Not only do you have the Imperial Palace Gardens on your doorstep, Tokyo Station is a short walk away, so exploring the rest of Tokyo could not be easier.

Aman Toyko is without a doubt the most impressive, and my favorite, city hotel that I have stayed in. Located on the 33rd floor of the Otemachi Tower, Aman Tokyo did not disappoint. The decor of the hotel is beautiful, with spacious bedrooms with sweeping views of the city. The views from the bar are particularly impressive, so definitely enjoy a cocktail or two after dinner! I would certainly recommend this hotel, in true Aman style, it is a real treat to come home to after your days exploring in Tokyo! Why not take a trip to the spa and enjoy an evening dip in the swimming pool that provides panoramic views over Tokyos skyline, particularly impressive when illuminated by night.

Easily the most exclusive hotel in Tokyo with an impressive welcome as you arrive at the lobby. The rooms and suites are some of the largest in Tokyo and the again, the views are amazing.

Not the best option for families as there are no interconnecting rooms or 2-bed suites, however, fantastic for couples looking for a real wow factor. They describe themselves as an Urban Resort which is certainly accurate. The public areas are extensive and the spa stretches over 2 stories!

Aman Tokyo certainly has the WOW factor! From the impeccable service upon arrival to entering the spacious, high ceiling reception area, decorated simply in greys and creams, creates an immediate soothing and relaxed atmosphere. Ensure you dont miss the afternoon tea, where the chef creates inspirational treats whilst you watch the sunset over Tokyo city, note afternoon tea gets booked up months in advance so its best we pre book this for you. An evening swim in the huge pool is a must to soak up the striking city lights, before enjoying dinner in one of the restaurants.

This is undoubtedly one of the (if not, the!) most impressive city hotels I have ever stayed in. From the moment you walk in, it charms you with its feeling of space, effortless beauty and sophisticated style. The lobby is vast and breath-takingly beautiful. The glamorous bar is so enticing and the chatter of equally as well dressed guests enjoying high tea and to die for cakes makes the place instantly enticing. The views are spectacular - from the bar, from breakfast and from all rooms and suites. The swimming pool is one of my favorite spots, particularly at night enjoying the twinkling city skyline. I would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone - Aman have successfully re-created their magic in their first city hotel offering.
